French Dip Sandwiches (Crock Pot) [Tried & True-ly Yummy]

French Dip Sandwiches

This recipe my husband and I first tried at his sisters place. We Really liked it and now we make it now at least once a month or two!  We Personally like the provolone or mozzarella cheese the best. And as for myself...I don't care to dip the french dip...funny, I know! I like to just pour a bit of the juices over the meat once its one the roll ;) 

Give that a try...and see what ya think!...unless you like the sogginess of the bread, of course!  Here is what you'll need...

French Dip Sandwiches

Ingredients:

(2.5-3) lb. beef roast (you can use a frozen roast if you want)

Tbsp. olive oil

salt and pepper

(2) 1-ounce packages dry onion soup mix

2 c. water

2 cans beef broth

6-8 large buns (or more…6 would be VERY generous servings!)

I  just loved this, made it as a gift for my first Nephew ;) and My sister is just in love with them as well!! :D

I got a plastic (flimsy kind) photo album at the dollar tree and it works great! 

Then I added some scrap book/cardstock papers at the back (since you will still have extra sleeves after all your pages are printed and put inside the sleeves. These papers I made work as a personal reflection of the child's baptism day. So, for example: one page was... 

• a spot for 'a picture of me on my baptism day' 
• and/or 'a picture of my family' 
• 'picture(s) of family and friends who came'
• and a page for 'how I felt after I was baptized' 
• a page for 'family & friends notes & encouragement'
• (a note from us) "Dear Carter,... Congrats!", etc.
